CSE 421 will be added this fall quarter. The time is still to be determined, but keep watching for updates.
Important course information: updated teaching schedule and 444 and 451 prereqs
http://www.cs.washington.edu/education/time-sched/teaching2011-2012.html
It is still tentative of course until the quarter starts, but this should be fairly close to the final schedule.
Change prereqs:
1. CSE 444 will require 344 as a prerequisite starting this up coming academic year. So if you plan to take 444 this spring, you need to take 344 first.
2. By fall 2012, CSE 333 will be a prerequisite to CSE 451. For the 2011-2012 academic year it’s highly recommended, but not yet required.
Let the advising staff know if you have questions.

Please join us this Thursday from 10:30 to 12:00 in CSE’s Microsoft Atrium.
Students will be proudly presenting 10 exciting projects from this quarter’s offering of CSE 440 : Introduction to HCI. In just 10 weeks, they have brainstormed project ideas, observed people to understand their actual needs, iteratively refined their ideas based on end-user feedback, and constructed video and interactive prototypes to convey their designs.
You can see the project websites here:

This year games capstone challenge was to create a social game that can match the exponential growth of Zynga games on Facebook, all in 10 weeks.
Ok, so I may have gone a bit overboard with the course challenge this year, but if interested in the outcomes of the class, please try them on Facebook

Lots of them are quite fun, and pretty creative, and they certainly need your play time to meet the class goals 😉
New Summer HCDE Course – UX for Mobile
———- Forwarded message ———-

Subject: FW: New Summer HCDE Course – UX for Mobile
HCDE is offering a new course this summer quarter called UX Design for Mobile: An Introduction to User Experience Challenges and Solutions for Mobile Devices and Mobile Applications. Please feel free to advertise this to your students.
The four credit course is being offered Monday/Wednesday from 10:50AM – 1PM (full term). Students interested in the course should email me for an add code. It is open to all HCI graduate and undergraduate students. Feel free to pass this along to interested students.
Course Description: HCDE 598 UX for Mobile
The design and evaluation of user interfaces and use experiences are central activities in the HCDE department. The landscape of such activities, however, is changing. Mobile devices and the Mobile UX represent one area of change. By discussing issues related to mobile UX, it is possible to explore a variety of contemporary UX concerns such as the role of testing for specific types of interfaces and the design of interfaces when they are part of an ecosystem of tools. Further, because of the prevalence of tools (such as smart phone emulators), it is possible to provide students will opportunities to design as well as test interfaces for these devices.
In this course, students will explore a variety of issues related to the design and evaluation of interfaces for mobile devices. Through readings (theoretical, practical, and case studies) and project-based activities, students will gain skills that will help them create effective interfaces for mobile devices. At the same time, through readings, discussion, and reflection on the projects, students will gain a better understanding of the changing nature of interface design.
The tremendous growth in mobile devices has opened a new and exciting frontier for user experience designers. The smartphone market now offers numerous competitive platforms and hundreds of thousands of apps. Many of these apps are full-featured and have needs similar to more traditional applications. However they also bring with them new challenges and offer exciting new design constructs. This course is designed to provide you with an introduction to this emerging design space and give you the opportunity to enhance your portfolio.
The course will include interaction with the popular mobile platforms including iOS, Windows Phone, and Android. Blackberry and webOS will also be discussed.

Capstone Pre-Registration now open – Algorithmic Game Theory added
I’m re-posting the capstone message because we accidentally left off the Algorithmic Game Theory capstone this fall. If you want to take that course, please go back into the survey to submit your answers again. You should be able to resubmit by going to the survey linked on the capstone page. Information about the Game Theory capstone is linked there as well.
We’ll send a separate email soon about how to apply for the animation project course series.
The capstone registration form is now open :
http://www.cs.washington.edu/education/ugrad/academics/capstone.html I’ve posted information below on the robotics capstone, every other course should have a link to previous course offerings. Most capstones require you to have completed at least CSE 332, and one or two 400 level courses as the goal is to “cap” your CSE experience. However, some faculty are more flexible than others. So you can always put your name down and then talk with the faculty as the course approaches.
First registration priority will go to students graduating. We’ll attempt to give everyone who fills out the survey their first or 2nd choice capstone. If there is still space available, we will open it during Junior registration for any students who did not register during this time period to add a capstone, or to take a 2nd capstone.
We’ll send results around June 10th. Add codes will be sent out during that quarter’s registration period.
2011-2012 Capstones:
CE Hardware Track Capstone:
- Spring: 477: Hardware Systems
CE Software Track Capstones:
- Fall 481a: Robotics (Rao)

Tentative!!! Course Schedule for 2011-2012 posted
Please note that the 2011-2012 course schedule is still tentative, but here is our best guestimate of what will be offered next year and when. Things can always change, but hopefully this will help some of you with planning your future schedules. There have been some changes from previous years, so please take a careful look at the web page below.
http://www.cs.washington.edu/education/time-sched/
Also note that CSE 344 is a new prerequisite for next spring’s offering of CSE 444. So if you want to take 444 next spring, you need 344 this spring, fall, or winter.
This summer, CSE 421 will be the 400 level course that will be offered, and it will only be offered once during the regular academic year.
